Four ways we’ve been battling COVID-19
Here’s what Oxfam is doing to help people survive COVID-19 and its economic impact.
When the COVID-19 pandemic emerged early in 2020, Oxfam immediately mobilized a global response.

Because of your critical support, we are making important progress:
1: We’ve reached 11,325,456 people.
So far we’ve helped people in seven regions of the world—well on our way to reaching our goal of 14 million people.
2: We’re working with 581 partner organizations.
We are directly supporting the work of hundreds of partners, who are playing key roles in delivering the help people need in this dire pandemic.
3: We’re helping people in 63 countries.
Alongside our partners, Oxfam is delivering essential assistance around the world, including:
4: We’re mobilizing resources.
